Re: Which Water of Life Did You Purchase Today?

The 105 reminds me of the Balvenie Founder's Reserve 10 only a bit more citrus. There is very little if any Sherry presence even though it was supposedly Sherry finished. Besides the fact that it is the first single malt bottling of Kininvie there really is nothing special about it. I've heard that the 107 is better but I'm not going to open mine anytime soon to find out.

AVB,

Thanks very much for the tip. I recently turned up a bottle of Ardbeg Corryvreckan that I like, but don't love. Well, actually it's terrific but I'm not sure it's twice as tasty as an Ardbeg 10. I'm going to give the Airigh Nam Beist a try and see how it compares.

according to Chu'Wuti, there are two distinct bottlings of Corryvreckan. One is earth-shattering and ridiculously incredible, the other one is solid, good, and wholesome... but not a devestating earthquake of peat on your palate.

I was actually considering grabbing a bottle of Airigh Nam Beist for my mom, but now that she is a member here, she will probably see this without my help. We'll see. I think that might be a peat-monster I'll like.
